Abstract

Alkylation of aromatics, an important reaction in organic chemistry, is widely used in the synthesis of petrochemicals, fine chemicals and pharmaceuticals.[1–4] Methyl halides, dimethyl sulfate and diazomethane are commonly used in methylation reactions.[5] The alkylation of a carboxylic acid to the corresponding methyl ester is also another fundamental transformation in organic chemistry.[6–7] A number of techniques including microwave ...
